Automation of process technology with transmitters, sensors and measuring equipment for the parameters of pressure, temperature, fill level, flow and conductivity of gaseous, liquid, paste-like and granular media.

Technology

Multi-faceted and varied applications require laser distance sensors with versatile performance features. Besides different dimensions and ranges, beam formation plays a particularly important role. Thanks to continuous further development, Baumer is in a position to offer the new "multi-spot" measuring principle with three different beam shapes:laser-point: measurement of small objects with a spot size of < 0.4 mmlaser-line: measurements on rough surfaces with a laser line of < 10 mmmulti-spot: measurements on extremely rough and inhomogeneous shiny surfaces with extra wide laser lines of < 62 mm

Triangulation

In the triangulation principle, the distance of an object is measured by means of the angle of incidence of the reflected light. The angle of incidence changes according to the distance, and thereby the position of the laser point on the receiver.

Time of flight

The time of flight (or also propagation time measurement) is a process for indirect distance measurement by measuring the amount of time that a signal requires to cover the measuring distance.

Light section

Based on the principle of triangulation. In conjunction with an emitted laser line and a matrix receiver, up to 600 items of distance information are determined and evaluated in the sensor.
